My son (8) is struggling with some of the social aspects at school and will say things such as saying “I love to eat blood” and things that are starting to alienate him more from his peers as “he’s creepy”. When asked he says he “likes creepy things” and “shouldn’t he be himself”.
We’ve done a lot of work on appropriate touch and physical side and he’s been doing really well so I don’t want him to feel left out by this as he’s made some friends as he’s so much happier now he can play with others.
